note 91498 added to function.strip-tags

Wanted a function to do what nick's was supposed to do: "strip tags and attributes, but with allowable attributes." but I couldn't get his to work properly, I think it had something to do with greedy / non greedy searching. Anyway, I modified his a bit: function strip_tags_attributes($string,$allowtags=NULL,$allowattributes=NULL){ $string = strip_tags($string,$allowtags); if (!is_null($allowattributes)) { if(!is_array($allowattributes)) $allowattributes = explode(",",$allowattributes); if(is_array($allowattributes)) $allowattributes = implode(")(?<!",$allowattributes); if (strlen($allowattributes) > 0) $allowattributes = "(?<!".$allowattributes.")"; $string = preg_replace_callback("/<[^>]*>/i",create_function( '$matches', 'return preg_replace("/ [^ =]*'.$allowattributes.'=(\"[^\"]*\"|\'[^\']*\')/i", "", $matches[0]);' ),$string); } return $string; } It can be used in the same way as nick's function. ---- Server IP: 209.41.74.194 Probable Submitter: 216.165.190.4 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strip-tags.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/91498 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91498/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91498/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91498/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91498/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91498/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91498/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91498 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/91498 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
